Description

The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study findings represent a paradigm shift in human understanding of the origins of physical, social, mental, and societal health and well-being. We now know that leading causes of disease and disability, learning and productivity problems, and early death have their roots in the cumulative neurodevelopmental impacts of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). Everyday things, like divorce, abuse, addictions, and other stresses, require a concerted response in order to build resilience in children.

“Understanding ACEs: Building Self-Healing Communities,” presented by state experts, provides information about the ACE study, along with neurobiology, that explains why ACEs impact people’s lives, and what we can all do to dramatically improve health and resilience for this and future generations.

The event is free. Pizza and snacks will be provided. If child care and/or transportation are barriers, reimbursement assistance may be available. Contact Christine for details by April 20.
